The great baguette and bagel
When I prepared to make "36 hours + sourdough baguette" that is posted by Txfarmer http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/19830/36-hours-sourdough-baguette-everything-i-know-one-bread last night, I mixed the sourdough culture and flour instead the water and the flour by my mistake because I was ready to feed my starters in the same time. The sourdough culture that is my keeper was taken out from refrigerator.( 6 ℃) I didn't want to throw it away, so I continued ...
1 Baguette
The day before:
100% white hydration sourdough starter 75g ( from refrigerator : The was my keeper. I keep my 100% starter at the roomtemperature and feed it twice a day )
Ice water 160g
* Mix them and put it in a refrigerator for overnight.
The final day:
flour 53g
salt 5g
Method:
1. The final day- mix the starter mixture and flour →Autolize 30 minutes →Add the salt and mix ( strech and fold way while giving it strokes)
2. Fermentation ( I did 3 hours ) Strech and fold every 30 minutes ( as Tyfarmer's recipe)
3. Shape
4. Proof ( I did 2.5 hours) Temerature was 68F.
5 Bake 470F for 7 minutes, 450F for 13 minutes , and shut off the oven left the baguette for 5 minutes in the oven.
In fact, I tried her recipe a couple days ago, but it was a failure because it was burst on the bottom.I think that was under-prooved. It was very tasty and it was chewyer than this baguette above. it was also cruncher, too. I really thank Txfarmer who sharing the best baguette's recipe I ever tasted.
Last night when I made the mistake, I made another batch of the baguette. I hope that it will be successful tomorrow...
---Next day---
The result was good. But it was still underprooved. I should have let it rise for the final fermentation.
And, I set up another one last night to use my mistake version. I took 4 hours for bulk fermentation and 3 hours for final fermentation. I let it rise double in bulk in the test dough. I usually bake when it is 1.5 times in bulk. I enjoyed to make these baguettes. Thank you so much, txfarmer. She is an amazing baker.
-----Our family's favorite bagels------------
When I have a lot of starter that is keeper in a refrigerator, I make Susan's bagels . http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/08/12/sourdough-bagels/
I will try the other Susan's bagels soon. http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2009/09/02/bagels-revisited/
This is the bagels that I used 100% white wild yeast by Sourdolady.
My daughter who is 4 years old made a special one. She call it " A human bagel" One of my friend said " It looks like a frog!"
The bagels are that I used 100% rye sourdough culture by Hamelman.
I think they are softer than the other one. But I like them too.
They are made by my daughter again. From right on the top, a car, a regular bagel, and a christmas tree. I like to make bread with my daughter who makes me laugh while making.
Thank you, Susan!
Happy baking,
Akiko

Thank you for your great comment, breadsong! :)
Best wishes,

So glad that the baguette formula worked out for you! :)
I misspelled your name, txfarmer, and I wanted to thank you so much. Today's baguette is better than the last one. But I didn't transfer the baguette dough well so then it is not straght but twisted. Thank you so much, txfarmer!! I love this baguette!!
Sincerely,
AKiko
